Raised rent after two weeks
By Tenant
Two weeks ago I moved in with my mother and her boyfriend. The deal was that I was going to stay there for no longer than 6 months to save for a down payment on a house. I had offered to pay some rent but the insisted I don’t because they currently were not paying the mortgage because they were working out a deal with the bank. They said at the most I could just pay the water bill. Now they want to charge me $300 and my boyfriend (who spends the night with me) $100 because they say the electricity bill has tripled since I have been there. I have only been there 2 weeks so there is no way my usage is even on the statemnet right!?! and I am litterally there just to sleep I get home after 9pm and leave before 7am. I have a place to move today but they want the money today. What are my legal rights?
